Did you know? Propane generates more BTUs than an equivalent amount of electricity, so you need much less propane to produce the same amount of heat or energy. Also, propane appliances are very efficient, so they waste very little fuel in the combustion process.
Propane is an eco-friendly and efficient choice for a wide variety of everyday appliances that use hot water or heat, including washers and dryers, dishwashers, and space heaters. But it’s also great for fueling appliances that can make your home a little more fun, inside and out: think cozy fireplaces, outdoor lighting, patio heaters, pool and spa heaters, outdoor grills and more.
Here are just a few of the ways propane can add value and comfort to your home.
Ask any chef: nothing beats the control of cooking with gas. Propane gives you an instant flame that adjusts with the turn of a knob, something an electric stove simply can’t replicate. Need to heat soup quickly without boiling it over? Or keep a delicate sauce at a perfect simmer? A propane range responds immediately. It’s also the backbone of outdoor cooking, offering fast, consistent heat on the grill without the mess of charcoal.
Water heating accounts for a significant portion of your household’s energy use. Because propane heats water quickly and efficiently, it’s an excellent choice for both storage, or tank-style, and tankless water heaters. A propane tankless system heats water only when you need it, giving you endless hot water and reducing energy use by up to 40%. That means long showers, clean dishes and lower bills.
Propane makes it easy to enjoy your outdoor spaces longer each year. Patio heaters extend your season comfortably into spring and fall. Fire pits and fire bowls create a warm, inviting centerpiece for gatherings of family and friends. And propane pool and spa heaters warm water far faster than electric models while maintaining temperature more efficiently, helping keep energy costs down.
Homeowners who heat with propane often talk about how warm and comfortable their homes feel, and the energy savings aren’t bad either. It can also offer more reliability than electric heat from your utility. While storms can knock out power lines, you store your propane supply at your home.
Propane also shines as a supplemental heat source. A propane fireplace brings cozy ambiance without the hassle of wood, and you can install one almost anywhere: living room, dining room, bedroom, even the bathroom for a spa-like retreat.
Power outages happen, but with a propane standby generator, your home is protected. Propane generators start automatically, keeping lights on, refrigerators cold, and devices charged until the power grid recovers. A whole-house generator can even boost home value and may help lower homeowner’s insurance rates.
Don’t miss out on all the benefits this versatile fuel can deliver. From practical appliances that make your day-to-day easier to easy upgrades that make your home feel more welcoming, propane packs power.
